I heard those albums ten thousand times. Again , VERY average playing at best. Most guitarist will agree that TI wasn’t all that good of a player. Actually I once saw Van Halen open for Sabbath ,that’s when you REALLY heard the difference between brilliant and average.TI must have shit himself listening to Eddie from the wings.
Like who? I've never heard anyone make such claims. All I've heard has been praise for Iommi.
Actually I once saw Van Halen...
Van Halen is pop-rock. Toni Iommi is heavy metal. You're comparing apples to oranges.
